President Donald Trump, returning from Texas after assessing flood damage, has empowered federal immigration enforcement agents with "total authorization" to defend themselves against violent demonstrators.
In recent incidents across California, Texas, Oregon, and other states, agitators have resorted to hurling rocks, igniting fires, and even firing shots at federal agents engaged in arrest operations.
"I am on my way back from Texas, and watched in disbelief as THUGS were violently throwing rocks and bricks at ICE Officers while they were moving down a roadway in their car and/or official vehicle. Tremendous damage was done to these brand new vehicles," Trump stated.
As reported by The Post Millennial, President Trump expressed his concern over the challenges faced by officers in maintaining law and order amidst such hostility. He directed Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and Border Czar Tom Homan to instruct all ICE, Homeland Security, and other law enforcement officers to take decisive action against those who assault them. "I am giving Total Authorization for ICE to protect itself," Trump continued, emphasizing the need for immediate arrest and incarceration of offenders. "AUTHORIZATION IMMEDIATELY GRANTED FOR ARREST AND INCARCERATION. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
In a recent incident in California, ICE agents faced resistance while attempting to enforce workplace regulations at a cannabis farm in Camarillo. A gathering of approximately 100 individuals, comprising both protesters and family members of farm workers, refused to disperse when instructed. The situation escalated when ICE deployed tear gas canisters, and a man opened fire on federal agents.
Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem addressed the alarming rise in assaults against ICE agents, noting a 700 percent increase. She declared, We will prosecute those who dox ICE agents to the fullest extent of the law. These criminals are taking the side of vicious cartels and human traffickers, underscoring the administration's commitment to upholding the rule of law. We wont allow it in America.
The President's directive underscores a firm stance on maintaining order and safeguarding law enforcement personnel. As tensions continue to rise, the administration remains resolute in its efforts to protect those tasked with enforcing immigration laws, ensuring that they can perform their duties without fear of violent retaliation.
